Transcriptomic analyses of Malabar grouper show pathways known to be involved in metamorphosis are also upregulated at an early stage of larval development, suggesting an additional function during early development.

A structural and biochemical study reveals the molecular mechanism of the predator–prey associations of Aplysia kurodai and brown algae (akuBGL–phlorotannin/laminarin–EHEP system), which has high-potential applications in the biotechnology industry.

Light-harvesting complex stress-related is a protein from photosynthetic green algae that prevents damage from sunlight via two distinct conformational processes, which protect against different timescales of solar fluctuations.

The capacity for symbiosis between photosynthetic microalgae and early diverging lineages fungi was demonstrated with microscopy and stable isotope exchange of carbon and nitrogen.

The ability of photosynthetic algae to enter the hyphae of a soil fungus could tell us more about the evolution of these species.

TALE homeodomain transcription factors have been independently recruited to regulate gametophyte to sporophyte transitions in two complex multicellular eukaryotic supergroups, land plants in Archaeplastida and brown algae in Chromalveolata.

An in silico reconstruction of a chloroplast that existed hundreds of millions of years ago casts new insights in the evolutionary processes, endosymbioses and chimerism events that shape the origin of plastids.
